The Conversation

Gene Hackman, John Cazale

Paramount, 2000

Great
There are some works of art that are obviously derivative of others, and obviously inferior, because they simply ape the earlier work, tweak a few minor things, and try to pass off their theft as `homage'. The Conversation (1974), written and directed by Francis Ford ...

Falling Down

Michael Douglas, Robert Duvall

Warner Home Video, 1999

Divorced, Going thru a child custody fight?

Better Than I Expected
This movie is very well done, which can't be said for all movies like this. Good choices were made and the point of what that prison was like were brought to life. It's great that Turner pictures continues to make these movies because of their importance.

Path to War

Michael Gambon, Donald Sutherland

Very Surprising!
After watching the film "Nixon" (which I thought was over-the-top in its representation of how Nixon behaved) I didn't know what to expect from this film. WOW, this is well acted and balanced concerning the views of the Vietnam war. No doubt the real LBJ went thru ...

Rebecca Broussard, Sue Carlton

Jack Nicholson should be directing films.
Let's make this short...This chair I'm in is too short for this computer, and I'm all squished here, with my left foot bent under sideways causing the side of it to stretch open my callous...painful. I love this film, it starts beautifully, maintains a great mood, has ...
